Monitoring Two Runners During the NYC Marathon
Neurosteer • November 3, 2019
Neurosteer monitored two runners, in real time, during the NYC marathon on Nov 3rd. Prof. Steven Laureys, a key figure in the European Human Brain Project, was behind this initiative, which created significant interest in sports and other brain monitoring in extreme physical conditions. The article in DeMorgen describes it (in Dutch; use Google Translate). The full event was streamed live on Facebook . When going over the recording, one can see that Steven was meditating during much of the run (a well-known method to reduce oxygen consumption).
Under the direction of signal processing expert Nathan Intrator, PhD, Neurosteer’s team has created an affordable and accessible device that measures minute electrical brain activity. Their device can help patients and providers manage brain conditions more effectively and proactively.
Neurosteer has been selected into a small group out of 100+ companies that were identified as key players in the detection and treatment of Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Moonshot initiative is backed by $100M from Gates, Bezos, Lauder, the Dolby Foundation, and the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF).

In “This Is What Music Does to Your Brain,” Yael Hallak of Haaretz writes that new research is exploring how to use music to bring people closer and even to diagnose cognitive decline in the elderly.
Neurosteer Inc. announces FDA clearance of its Neurosteer® single-channel EEG brain monitoring platform. The clearance allows Neurosteer’s unobtrusive multi-purpose system to be used in a broad range of clinical settings, including the ICU, a doctor’s office, and pharma drug trials.
Neurosteer participated in Peter Gabriel’s event at the Fotografiska Museum in NYC, demonstrating the effect of music and meditation on the brain using real-time graphics by displaying brain activity as it related to the intensity of focus, relaxation, and emotion.
A Tel Aviv University PhD student, Neta Maimon, came up with a 15-minute test that supports early detection of cognitive decline. The test uses musical cues in conjunction with Neurosteer’s EEG brain monitoring system to track brain function as elderly people listen to music.
